Brace yourselves ladies and gentlemen! The beloved Victoria Secret Fashion Show will return in full swing on October 15th in New York City for the first time since 2019! The show that we’ve watched in shock and awe over the years for its breathtaking lingerie, talented performers, clever costume accessories, and world-renowned models will grace our presence after a 5-year hiatus, and it looks like it will be worth the wait.
The first ever Victoria Secret Fashion Show was held in 1995 and has been held annually (apart from 2004) until 2019. It returned on a smaller scale in 2023 premiering as a pre-filmed version on Prime Video after 4 years due to various controversies, low ratings, and eventually the Coronavirus pandemic. But October 15th will be the glorious day of the full return of the show that we know and love.
After seeing Tyra Banks’ somewhat nostalgic Instagram reel commercial (featuring Gigi Hadid) revealing that she will be this year’s host it’s only right to list what to expect this time around.
Here’s what you need to know. According to the company they have read and heard our comments therefore the show will, “reflect who we are today.” We’re assuming that this ultimately means the show will be a little more size inclusive than they have been in the past, reflecting some of the fan criticism they have received over the years. But even with the recent expected changes we are still promised the usual, “glamour, runway, wings, musical entertainment, and more” that we have grown to love and anticipate in the past.
Other model faces to expect include Dutch model Imaan Hammam, plus-size model, Paloma Elesser, Nigerian model Mayowa Nicholas, Devyn Garcia, Grace Elizabeth, Taylor Hill, and Candice Swanepoel. As far as performers, there’s no word yet. But we can expect to be very happy with the lineup considering those who have performed in the past including Destiny’s Child, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, and even the Spice Girls!
So, get your angel wings ready! Victoria Secret is coming back bigger, better, and more inclusive than ever! And be sure to check out the Victoria Secret website for behind-the-scenes exclusives and other updates.
